JERSEY CITY, NJ—Development partners Kushner Real Estate Group and Ironstate Development Company have received a 2015 “Smart Growth” award from New Jersey Future for 18 Park, their iconic, mixed-use development in an emerging neighborhood in downtown Jersey City.
New Jersey Future named KRE/Ironstate's 18 Park building one of the recipients of its prestigious annual award, noting that it was designed to be the “community anchor” of an 80-acre redevelopment area in Jersey City's Liberty Harbor North neighborhood.
18 Park is a 422-unit rental building with upscale amenities and services, but it is also home to a variety of community organizations. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Hudson County occupied brand new, state-of-the-art facilities at 18 Park in 2014 after relocating from a severely outdated building nearby. The Great Futures Charter High School for Health Sciences also calls 18 Park home, as does a teen technology center that includes music recording and graphic arts equipment. The building also includes street level retail that contributes to the vibrancy and pedestrian-friendly character of the neighborhood, making it feel like a true “center” of the community.
